July 2011 has featured an average temperature in Rockford of 79.0 degrees. Preliminarily, that's 6.2 degrees above the long-term average, and tied for the 4th hottest July since records began in Rockford back in 1906! Granted, there are still six days remaining in the month. But with above-average temperatures expected to continue into the weekend, this will likely be the 4th or 5th hottest July on record.
Last July, as you may recall, was quite hot as well. At 75.4 degrees, it was the 20th hottest July in over 100 years of record-keeping. But July 2009 was our coldest July ever at 67.0 degrees, beating-out our 2nd coldest seventh month (July 1915) by a full two degrees!
